What is more upsetting is that even if he “changed his mind” his current ideals is not what the voters thought they were voting for. It is still unethical for him to completely change his stance after getting the job.
Strom Thurmond is a great example. That raisin ball of shit was a US senator for 47 years. He lived to be nearly 101. Pissing on his grave is on my bucket list.
Term limits would be the solution, alongside age limits so that a geronotacracy can’t become a thing. Sucks we have to take away the political keys from grandpa, but the alternative is far worse than bad driving.
Campaign finance is at the heart of many ills, too - as is FPTP. But we’re talking diet, exercise, and smoking cessation when the patient is looking at a fairly late stage situation.
At this point, we should ask the patient to write a will, before the dementia fully sets in.
In real world context, that means asking leaders of Blue States to start preparing for the worst - housing, firearms, laws, sanctuaries, whatever it takes to batten down the hatches before the conservative hurricane lands.

I find your theory that politicians have ethics amusing.
It’s not unheard of. Barely even a rarity; it’s just that the terrible ones never quit and seem to have a natural lifespan about 30% longer.
Not a conspiracy theory either, it’s just that stress-free lifestyle of not giving a shit about anyone.

They would have ethics if we selectively culled the unethical ones like we’re supposed to.
